Interesting that you should mention Larry Robinson looking over TMac’s shoulder. I think it was a given when the Sharks hired Robinson that should TMac fail again this year, LR is his replacement even though he says he does not want it.

Tell us the deal. Montreal or Toronto media/fans would be going through his trash cans to get around the subterfuge. For all we know he just doesn’t feel like skating cuz he doesn’t have to.

ZEKEWed, 23 Jan 2013 01:02:57 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/sharks/?p=8923#comment-203534Still don’t get the Wellwood hate — yeah he had a rough series vs Vancouver. Guess what — 3rd and 4th line guys who get 6 figure salaries aren’t going to win every matchup. Our 3rd line that year was really good except vs Vancouver — and they were a really good team. But if you want to go that way, the line that almost got us back into that series was the 4th line of Mayers, McGinn and Desijardins. And DW broke up that line as well by letting Mayers go.

The idea that player has to be successful against EVERY team is just foolish. You roll with a line that wins most of the time and if you need to adapt vs a few teams because that matchup doesn’t work, you adapt.

Ian White has been moved to the third pairing and get this…Detroit just signed Kent Huskins!
